Jaipur cops warn lockdown violators violators they will face the music: Masakali 2.0 on loop
Jaipur: Think twice before violating the coronavirus lockdown in the Rajasthan capital: Jaipur Police will inflict Masakali 2.0 on you.
Police here have warned on social media that they will confine violators to a room and then play the song, a recent remix of the original Masakali from Delhi-6, over and over again for those found roaming unnecessarily during the lockdown to fight coronavirus.
The remake has not gone down well with many, including A R Rahman, the composer of the original for the Abhishek Bachchan-Sonam Kapoor-starrer a decade back. It was sung then by Mohit Chauhan.
Original lyricist Prasoon Joshi has also gone on social media, making clear that he is not happy with the Masakali 2.0 music video starring Sidharth Malhotra and Tara Sutaria.
Jaipur Police are not necessarily taking sides in the row over the remake. It's just that the lyrics are apt.
Mat Udiyo, Tu Dariyo Na Kar Manmani, Manmani Ghar Par Hi Rahiyo, Na Kar Nadani , the lyrics say. Don't be stubborn, don't be stupid, stay at home, the lines say.
On twitter, Jaipur Police warned, If you are unnecessarily roaming outside, we will put you in a room and play Masakkali 2.0 on loop." The post also carried a cartoon making the same point.
That's a savage. Killing lot of birds with shot. Great sense of dark humour Can't stop laughing, Vivek Shah reacted on Twitter.
Shashi M Nair tweeted, Awesome thinking. Masakkali 2 music deadliest than coronavirus. It's better to be at home rather than listening the song.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Kavendra Singh Sagar, who handles social media, said they decided to use humour to get the message across to people.
By Sunday afternoon, Jaipur alone had reported over 300 cases of coronavirus. Police have barricaded 262 location in the city to prevent movement of unauthorized people.
They have seized over 8,100 vehicles so far and arrested 131 people for flouting prohibitory orders. Drone cameras are in use and their live footage monitored to check if the lockdown is being followed, officials said.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
